Well, I own a Ti4400 but the general opinion seems to be that the 9600 is
good all-round choice at the moment. From what I understand, most people in
this group seem to feel that ATI's drivers are fine with games like N2003,
F1C, GPL etc. Is that right ATI owners?
I went from a 4400 to a 9700 Pro recently and have been extremely
happy with it.

Yep. I use to think that not having as many driver options as Nvidia has
with all its beta drivers floating around would be a bad thing. I have not
misssed the driver of the week of Nvidia at all. My second 3d video board
was the ATI Rage Maxx Fury and from that I went to a Geforce 2 then Geforce
3. While the Nvidia performance was great I missed the visual quality of
the ATI cards. Now that I have a 9700 pro I have the best of both worlds.
Now I just need a better CPU to push it than my 2100xp.

I understand it's not the greatest card in the world, but hey, look at what
you get for what you pay. The reason I say it's not the definitive answer is
that all the guys are happy with their ATI cards. No problem with that.
Nvidia may not have the best cards but when this card came out it was the
best available. Also it was about 400 bucks. Maybe you could find one for
about 175 on ebay if you are lucky. Anyway good luck.

BTW I run GPL, N2k3, and LFS on my current card and they run pretty good.
Can't wait to see what the new card does. Also I believe the ATI 9600 got
blown out by the TI4600.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. I really am.
One thing about the Visiontek is it's the barebones card without tons of
software etc...most of which I don't want or need anyway. And it came with
PowerDVD whichi is a dynamite DVD player software.
